I am now convinced that Dusty Baker - a man of many talents and some tendencies that simply have no explanation - has no clue, no gut instinct that tells him when his pitcher is done. How many times have we seen this season where a guy is gassed and Dusty leaves him in just that one batter too long. This in and of itself is not that big a problem bc plenty of managers also don't have the skill, but when he's paired with a pitching coach that also doesn't have that skill or the pull to convince Dusty to yank a guy, it becomes a pretty major problem. Add in that Dick Pole, the bench coach, ought to have the skill as well, there's three guys failing. They've got to get somebody there that can do it.
